The former York owner is a hated figure among some City fans after taking the club into administration.
- John Batchelor answers your questions
And last week he agreed, when questioned by Chad, that he made some money out of York during his short time at the helm of the club.
That included buying the club for £1 and then failing to fulfil a promise to buy the ground - amid accusations of failing to divert sponsorship money into the football club.
About York he said: "I did nothing wrong. Yes I made money out of the club, I don't deny it. I suppose I made a profit of about £120,000 over 18 months in total.
"But I did not take a salary and I could have made far more than that on a salary from working elsewhere." -

Chad asked him about two companies - Solvitol and Besglos - after complaints from former employees, posting on Chad.co.uk stories about the businessman's interest in the Stags.
Solvitol was the third largest aerosol manufacturer, before Mr Batchelor was persuaded by the management team to help organise a management buyout from its owners, a plc.
Besglos was a cleaning company, ironically the place where the colourful businessman started his working career at the age of 17, years earlier.
Mr Batchelor said: "I have nothing to hide. I bought those companies, left the management team in place, strengthened them with additional resources and funded them with my own money.
"I gave the management team six months to deliver, but they didn't so I closed them down - they went into administration.
"I then stripped out the assets for a return on my investment."
Mr Batchelor added: "Let's be clear. I would adopt the same approach at Mansfield.
"I would invest into the business and put a strong management team in place.
"But we can make it work if everyone does what they say they will do.
"If they didn't, then I would have to consider my position, of course.
"But I am a football fan and want to make this work. Sponsorship is a world I understand and I am sure we can attract the bigger companies who could make a difference.
"I ran a motorsport team for seven years, from starting with nothing. And I only stopped because I didn't have the time anymore.
"There are commercial opportunities in football that haven't been exploited yet and that is why I think I can make a go of it.
"People think a lot about football, but they have to think more laterally."
And he repeated his promise to Chad last week, that he would be open about sponsorship deals, the money they brought to the club and his 'commission'.
It is thought that Mr Batchelor wants to take on the Stags under the same terms agreed between the club and the Derry consortium.
That means he would be injecting £500,000 of working capital into a club which has been losing £250,000 annually for the past few years.
He added: "In theory I suppose you could say I have two years to make a go of this."
When asked what would happen if the money ran out, he repeated: "Then I would have to consider my position, of course."
Under the terms of the buyout agreed by the Derry consortium, it is known that Mr Haslam would sell his majority shareholding for £1 and demand a rent for the use of Field Mill (reduced if the club is relegated) - offering an option to buy the ground at a previously agreed price.
If the owners default on the rent it is thought that the club's ownership would revert back to Mr Haslam.
